I need to set selinux permissions on a non-default httpd directory: /www/virtualhosts/site01, ect.

So I issue: 

[mybox]# semanage fcontext -a -t http_sys_content_t "/www(/.*)?"

And get: 

ValueError: Type http_sys_content_t is invalid, must be a file or device type

What needs to happen to configure selinux to work with my non-default httpd directory?

You just need to fix your typo.

You entered:

http_sys_content_t

But it is correctly:

httpd_sys_content_t

  • What's the difference between httpd_sys_content_t and httpd_sys_rw_content_t? Should I give the same selinux permissions to the ssl certificate directory (again not the default)? Commented Dec 18, 2015 at 19:51
